Supporting Returning Military Law Enforcement Personnel

Designed to raise awareness of the issues faced by military personnel returning to their law enforcement assignments after active duty. Details three phases to consider when examining the issues of military reservists in law enforcement: Pre-deployment, deployment, and re-acclimation to the workplace upon return from military duty.

Includes in-depth interviews with law enforcement personnel who tell about the processes they use for working with military reservists and how they handle issues that can occur with the deployment and re-acclimation process. Features scenarios to demonstrate some of the situations that can occur during each phase of a reservist’s deployment experience.

The program suggests that the best approach to working with deploying
